In both Brazilian and American English contexts, this phrase is commonly used in professional, technical, and medical settings to describe work that falls short of expected standards. In Brazil, the term may sometimes be softened with expressions like 'feito na correria' (done in a rush) to indicate unintentional imprecision rather than negligence.
